Ouch! He won’t do that again. In the end you get what you ask for. Terrible decision to attempt that manoeuvre.

Australia and Austria?  Are'nt they the same place??? ????Who's confused??? 

I remember a scene from the movie Dumb and Dumber where there was similar confusion 

And the Thai military is constantly meddling with free elections and continually manipulating the outcomes. Go figure.

Last week I was checking prices, one way to Brisbane, Thai 40k-60k, that was for economy tickets. Do people pay those sort of prices?

I don’t know why but in my experience I have found the price of a ticket from Australia to Thailand return has always been cheaper than the reverse of Thailand to Australia. Most recent price I looked at for THAI was about $1200+AUD. This was for flights out of Melbourne in September returning in November. 
Earlier this year on another carrier the one way fare BKK to Melbourne was more expensive than the return flight departing from Melbourne. Why is it so? Anyone able to explain?

I feel charges for slander are about to be lodged.

Arrested on what [legitimate] charge?

The charge will be for being a threat to military dictatorship although the wording may be a little different

I’ve instructed my kids to hit me in the head with a sledgehammer if I should ever wear sandals and socks. 

A festering, pus ridden sore that needs to be addressed but never will. 

It’ll only happen if the military allows it to happen. 

The army’s new secret weapon. Buy every opposition candidate a few shares unbeknown to them and Hey Presto not a chance in hell of ever being deposed. Shameful, especially when they are the rulers of all forms of media. 

Right or wrong this is a ploy to steer the election result to exactly where it was prior to the election. I'm surprised that anyone thought there was ever a chance of change. Perhaps we were all just hoping against hope that this time it might be different? MFP can claim a moral victory but when you look at what happens in all of Thailand's neighbours (bar Malaysia) there are lots of role models of military dominance with no appetite for democracy. Thailand is just fitting in.

RIP Thailand you are being strangled to death and nothing short of a full civil war will reverse it and we know who has the bigger pistola if it ever came to that. It will make good news headlines around the world but, as in Myanmar, blood will flow in the streets and nothing good will come of it. Revolt will only tighten the military's blood thirsty grip on power.

So sad, so wrong and so predictable.

Don't let his BS acceptance fool you. They will try with the 250 BS senators & perhaps Anutins 70 seats or other cronies to upstage MF 310 seat Party

Money talks which makes the numbers to form a majority very rubbery. 

Oxygen thieves and 250 wasted skins. 

Convicted by an illegal, illegitimate regime. Surely there's got to be a legal loophole somewhere.
